Just in case people didnt know they could do this.
Type the following in Google Search Bar. [Search Terms] being what your looking for,
and you can use Google Search to Search the site. Better than the naff forum search.

[Search Terms] site:www.fantasygrounds.com/forums

Actually the Site Search uses a Google Custom Search Engine and it does display somewhat different results.
You can set some different options in a CSE when you set it up.

Another one that works is inurl:

I use the Google search when Im looking up programming syntax but I dont limit the search to the forums as I want the wiki results included:

eg: addchatmessage site:https://www.fantasygrounds.com/
